Re Hard Rock templates

Hi Chris, I think that would be a great idea, as this is my first ever wikiproject. Thanks. DavidJJJ 06:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC) We should also do that. DavidJJJ 17:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Schweisser

On 01-July, you tagged Schweisser as a copyright violation. However, you had already removed the copyrighted text that had been added by a previous poster. Since you removed the copyrighted material, that resolved the problem and you didn't need to apply the copyvio tag. I have untagged it. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 02:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Featured Picture Candidate

Hi Chris, I've nominated one of your Hummingbird Hawk-moth images for FPC. You can monitor its progress at Misplaced Pages:Featured_picture_candidates/Hummingbird_Hawk-moth. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 12:07, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Black concert T-Shirt

Hello - The sentence you removed from Black concert T-Shirt may have been dubious, but it provided a reason why the t-shirts are typically black in color. Perhaps we can come up with a different way to explain the color choice? --Mattarata 16:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Moth FPC

No reason, I was just interrupted before I could get to adding all the new FPs to the various lists, and I wasn't able to get back to the computer until now. I'll finish everything off tomorow, but of course your welcome to do it yourself if you'd like too... :) Raven4x4x 14:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

An image created by you has been promoted to featured picture status Your image, Image:IC Macroglossum stellatarum1 NR.jpg, was nominated on Misplaced Pages:Featured picture candidates, gained a consensus of support, and has been promoted. If you would like to nominate an image, please do so at Misplaced Pages:Featured picture candidates. Thank you for your contribution!

Now I see why you asked me about it! Congratulations, and thanks for taking it for us. Raven4x4x 07:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

This is to let you know the Featured Picture you uploaded and/or nominated Image:IC Macroglossum stellatarum1 NR.jpg is scheduled to be Picture of the day on September 27, 2006, when it will be featured on the Main Page. Congratulations! howch e ng {chat} 17:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Misplaced Pages, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log)
In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Misplaced Pages talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Re: Rainbow not progressive metal

All you need to do to figure that out is listen to them. The only reason people don't group them into the genre is because it didn't have an official name until the mid-eighties. However, Rainbow's blend of classical stylings into the realm of heavy metal is the obvious precurser to the "official" prog metal scene.

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Misplaced Pages there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log)
The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it! TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!
